There's been a lot of green on my blog lately, but I just can't help showing you the bright and cheery Essence Roller Coaster, one of the latest additions to the Colour & Go line. There are some regular swatches after the jump, as well as the results of my experiment with Born Pretty Store nail foils.

Essence Roller Coaster is a saturated green creme with golden shimmer. It's highly pigmented and my swatches show 1 coat, no topcoat. It's quite easy to apply and dries fast. The colour is really "in-your-face" and the nails look a bit plastic with it on - but that's not necessarily a bad thing %) A green plastic waaaatering caaan

I obviously don't own any special "foil glue", so I did these the easy way - when your polish is almost, but not completely, dry, apply a bit of foil to it and rub gently with your finger. Repeat as needed. %)

As you can see, the dryer the polish, the less foil you get on your nail. But if you do it when the polish is not dry enough, you might pull it away from the nail - so it's mostly trial and error. You can't use regular topcoat with foil as it will ruin the look, so this wasn't my longest-lasting mani (the foil was mostly gone by evening). Still an easy and pretty way to spruce things up!
